Minor and adult

Akira Kurosawa is worthy of being the hallmark figure of a movie decorator. The beauty of the whole movie is unsurpassed, but it really feels like a waste of money for these overly beautified things... I am also realistic!
The movie talks about Kurosawa Akira's 8 dreams, and near the end, the dream has become a bit like a trip. In the end, the dream and reality have built a bridge!
The so-called underage dreams express fear, anxiety, indulging in fantasies, a sense of justice, confusion, separation from reality, and a sense of color,
while the so-called adult dreams express despair, obedience and destruction, death, guilt, escape, and darkness
. It is very clear to distinguish the eight dreams according to this. I am very disappointed that the eighth dream at the end turns out to be a "Peach Blossom Land" that does not exist or even cannot exist, and until the end of the film, there is no Kurosawa. Bright aged image. There are indeed many things that can be reflected in the state of being a minor and an adult, and only people can reflect on themselves when they are old. Without this, Akira Kurosawa can only continue to stay in his decoration team! The so-called "Peach Blossom Garden" has always been just an illusion, used to comfort people's hearts in the void, as if life will change into a different shape as long as we don't do those wrong things. This inversion can never be established.
So the movie is still more like a high-end environmental protection film in the end, which is really expensive!
If I had to choose my favorite dream, it would be the fox marrying a daughter. Those colors are unsurpassed!

    Kurosawa's movies are so Japanese. Strong national sense and strong national culture. Although I don't like it, but it's first-rate. The fox becomes a demon. The peach trees bloom beautifully. Adversity at the top of the snow mountain. The army of the undead survived. Van Gogh talks to the pastoral. The nuclear leak of Mount Fuji was too predictable. The ogre dialogue is sad. The hundred-year-old village is quiet and far-reaching. The Japanese are also superstitious and talk about ghosts and dreams, so they are so different from other eastern and western countries.

    Akira Kurosawa's most perfect work, as the last film of Akira Kurosawa's overall viewing is very wise. The intersection of idyll and hellscape, the shadow of war and nuclear explosion is a prediction of how big reality is. Many people say that Akira Kurosawa's sermons and hints are too obvious, but do you need to play narrative skills when telling these ideas? Movies are the carrier of ideas, or the expression of emotions. Works worthy of deep reflection
